Download as PDF 71072 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 216 / Friday, November 6, 2020 / Notices 2019, in Center for Biological Diversity et al. v. EPA et al. (N.D. Ca) (3:11–cv– 00293). The atrazine, simazine and propazine BEs follow the Revised Method for National Level Listed Species Biological Evaluations of Conventional Pesticides (see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP– 2019–0185–0084 at www.regulations.gov). EPA utilized the Revised Method for the first time when conducting the methomyl and carbaryl draft BEs, for which the Agency solicited public comment for a total of 120 days. EPA is currently evaluating public comments received and will take them into consideration for the final BEs for these pesticides. Comments received on carbaryl and methomyl that are applicable to the broader BE methodology will also be incorporated into the final BEs for atrazine, simazine, and propazine. After reviewing comments received during the public comment period on the atrazine, simazine, and propazine draft BEs, EPA will issue final BEs and a response to public comments document. If EPA determines that these pesticides may affect listed species and/ or their designated critical habitats, EPA will initiate consultation with the Services. Based on the BEs, the Services will then develop Biological Opinions for atrazine, simazine, and propazine. C. Public Comments Sought Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c) and consistent with the enhanced stakeholder engagement practices (see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2012– 0442), EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice of availability, for interested parties to provide comments and input concerning the Agency’s draft BEs for atrazine, simazine, and propazine. Such comments could address, among other things, the application of the Agency’s revised risk assessment methodologies to and assumptions for these draft BEs. The file sizes of the draft BEs for atrazine, simazine, and propazine exceed the docket system’s file size limitation, therefore these documents are not posted to this BE docket. Instead, the BEs are posted on EPA’s endangered species web page (see web links provided in the Table below). Commenters are instructed to post comments on the BEs to this BE docket (EPA–HQ–OPP–2020–0514) in www.regulations.gov, as indicated in the Table below.

Anyone may submit data or information in response to this document. To be considered during a pesticide’s registration review, the submitted data or information must meet the following requirements: • To ensure that EPA will consider data or information submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider data or information submitted at a later date. • The data or information submitted must be presented in a legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must accompany any material that is not in English and a written transcript must accompany any information submitted as an audio- VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Nov 05, 2020 Jkt 253001 graphic or video-graphic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or electronic form. • Submitters must clearly identify the source of any submitted data or information. • Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However, submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider the data or information in the pesticide’s registration review. As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review docket for each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through the duration of the registration review process; that is, until all actions required in the final decision on the registration review case have been completed.

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The information is collected from applicants and 
recipients of EPA assistance to monitor adherence to the programmatic 
and administrative requirements of the Agency's financial assistance 
program which includes the Agency's DBE program. The information 
collected is used to make awards, pay recipients, and collect 
information on how Federal funds are being spent. EPA needs this 
information to meet its Federal stewardship responsibilities. This ICR 
renewal requests authorization for the collection of information under 
EPA's General Regulation for Assistance Programs, which establishes 
minimum management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or 
cooperative agreements (assistance agreements). Recipients must respond 
to these information requests to obtain and/or retain a benefit 
(Federal funds). For awards made prior to December 26, 2014, 40 CFR 
part 30, ``Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, 
Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations,'' establishes the 
management requirements for institutions of higher education, 
hospitals, and other non-profit organizations, as well as procurement 
requirements for non-governmental recipients. For awards made prior to 
December 26, 2014, 40 CFR part 31, ``Uniform Administrative 
Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local 
Governments,'' includes the management requirements for States, local 
governments, and Indian Tribal governments. These regulations include 
only those provisions mandated by statute, required by Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound 
and effective financial assistance management. For awards made after 
December 26, 2014, 2 CFR 200 and EPA's implementation of 2 CFR 200 at 2 
CFR 1500 ``Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and 
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'' establishes the management 
requirements for all entity types. These regulations include only those 
provisions mandated by statute, required by OMB Circulars, or added by 
EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management. For 
all awards, 40 CFR part 33 ``Participation by Disadvantaged Business 
Enterprises in Procurement under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
Financial Assistance Agreements'' establishes DBE utilization 
requirements for all entity types. These regulations include only those 
provisions mandated by statue or added by EPA to ensure sound and 
effective financial assistance management with respect to DBE 
utilization. This ICR combines all of these requirements under OMB 
Control Number 2030-0020. The information required by these regulations 
will be used by EPA award officials to make assistance awards and 
assistance payments and to verify that the recipient is using Federal 
funds appropriately.
